Think yourself out of it

Silver100

Do any of you find that if you're "intelligent" people expect for to "overcome" your AS symptoms, when they don't have this expectation of people they see as "less-intelligent"?

I have used my intellect to learn consciously how to interpret peoples' behaviour in some circumstances so I don't make the mistakes I did as a child, and it has helped me understand my self better, but there is so much that is not available to intellectual influence, let alone control.

I find this view very irritating.

  • I think there is also SQ, or social intelligence, which is seperate from IQ, EQ, and KQ too.

    Now, these things are not entirely seperate, and there is some overlap, so, for example, as Silver says a weakness in the area of social and emotional intelligence can be masked somewhat by intellectual intelligence as one can learn, intellectually, to mimic the behaviours that are automatic and intuitive to those without those weaknesses.

    That is not to say that such learning is in any way easy, or that one can simply "think oneself out of it", particularly when, as Silver again says, one is in a hightened emotional state.
